When I am home, Piyo demands all attention. And he insists to aid me and Rani and expecting a ‘Thank You’. This of course interrupt our flow of doing things and definitely delays whatever we are doing at that moment. This infuriates Rani. Add to it, I forbid scolding him without logic – my logic is that at one end we train him to be independent and on the other we want him to give that independence back when it is inconvenient to us. Of course there are times I too get frustrated.

So the frequent scene at home resembles an irritated sister nagging a brother. And I am the mediator. Nice huh?
